I was wondering if it would be possible to have the various DS actors names by which show(s), spin-off movie and other musings.

For instance, there could be a color-'legend' at the top

O S (Original 1966-1971 series)

HoDS (House of Dark Shadows (sorry, I don't the exact release date)

NoDS (Night of Dark Shadows) Not really a 'spin-off', but some characters are APPROXIMATELY
the same and this is a bit of 'time travel'.
etc.

Next, it would have actor/actress name and which different characters they played.
OBVIOUSLY JOAN BENNETT WOULD BE THE FIRST ON THAT LIST, capice!

So, something like



Joan Bennett: Elizabeth Collins Stoddard 1966-1968(?), Judith Collins, 1968, during the Quentin haunting, in year 1895. (Now, see, here's where I have to stop...I know she went back to ECS during Leviathans, but I'm not sure about the time frame. Next, I don't actually fully know her other character(s) and what timeframe/what was happening, i.e., Judas Zachary....

Yes, there would be some time involved; and what confused me most are people like Joan Bennett who had multiple orig. series roles....

But, I think first and foremost, it should be broken down as such:

Original Series

HoDS

NoDS

'90-91 NBC

2004 WB Pilot

2012 Burton/Depp

And, I'm not sure if I've forgotten any other incarnations of it!!

Alright, we've seen and 'disected' if you will, the 2012 Depp DS.

With some knowledge, I'd like to say who and what type of story-lines there 'Could' be:

We know 'Julia' is alive-ish; she could 'detangle' and show us what a vamp can REALY do to a Doxie!!

Carolyn: werewolf, hmmm....I wish I could think of any DS character who might have a werewolf presence....

David mentions his 'mother'; I would 'somehow' (a la Dan Curtis no style) let David know that his mother IS NOT ON THE OCEAN BOTTOM.

Elizabeth: she'd use the home and business insurance policies and re-build, bigger and better!

The family would build a smaller house (thereby making the mansion, the old house, and new one - well, you get it).

I think the 'true' Evans family, who we didn't see, would come back from their Green Peace efforts in Columbia.

On their way home,naturally walking through the woods on Collins grounds, just Sam would come across something...different....almost a parallel time....

Okay....let's hear more!!

Patti

Ummm...was this a previously shot movie? Or, from nowish....?

i just recently re-watched NoDS...so many questions and comments:

First, I thought when Q & T were going into what I presumed to be one of the many cottages on the Collinwood Estate, it looked nothing like the series. Once inside, I'm reasonably sure they were in fact inside a real house (not a set).

You don't hear anyone say 'Collinwood' until Julia says it about half way through.

Was the shooting done at Salve-Regina (sorry if that's really wrong name/spelling).

Were the majority of shots in 'Collinwood' done in an actual house too? I don't think every scene was in the house, but the majority.

This is only the second time viewing it, but I felt very unclear on why Ang was haunting the joint (it wasn't Q who had her hanged...right?)

Now, we all L O V E Thayer David, but why wasn't Jerry Lacy in the infamous roll of Trask?

At the end of movie and THIS MAY BE BIG SPOILER, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED NODS DON'T READ, it has the type stating that 'Willie and Carolyn' (yes, I know that wasn't their character's names) were killed in auto accident...witness...fog...but then it seem like more 'type' is coming, but it just went to the end.

Thanks for letting me ask,

Patti

On main board, there's a pic of 'dining room'?
Is this the DR we first saw JD meeting 'Vicki'...if so, was is shot w/windows to JDs back?
I'm guessing this is a '90 pic...it mentions Sophia, whom I've never heard of....
Nice room, but TOTALLY inappropriate for late 1700s.
Patti

On main first page, there is (I believe 3rd down on right) a pic of...TLATKLS.
I can't quite make out which story arc this is; there is a candle on the small, round table. There are on same page pics of 'Hoffman', again, don't know arc (I don't believe it to be c. 1967 RT/DOCTOR Hoffman).

Thanks,

Patti

But, hasn't there been some 'mathy' type numbers, because of DVD (used to be rentals), but now sales?
I myself had pre-ordered and purchased 3 of the 2012 new....
There 'used to'?? be a way to figure in the rentals then sales, but Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, et al., will probably 'scew' these numbers.
